US border officials are reportedly using an online chatroom to tell Mexican authorities when to let 100-150 illegal migrants at a time jump into the Rio Grande and swim across as a way to make processing their release into America easier.
Todd Bensman, a fellow with the Center for Immigration Studies stationed at the border, said the goal is to build a “controlled-flow system most often used, controversially, by Colombia, Panama, and Costa Rica, to facilitate mass illegal migration to the U.S. border rather than incur the expense and trouble of blocking it in those countries.”Bensman blogged that while on the banks of the river this week, he noticed big crowds ready to cross but held back by Mexican authorities.
“At some sort of signal from the Mexican immigration officers,” he wrote, “a group of about 100-150 from the crowd would suddenly stand in unison and rush down the riverbank, past the immigration officers, and swim over to America.”“The officers explained that their senior officers were in touch with U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials about how many immigrants were gathered and were prepared to cross the river at any given time.
While the U.S. Border Patrol didn’t respond to his questions about the Mexican claims, he said it happened over and over again and was started by President Joe Biden’s Homeland team.“The Americans on the other side would ask the Mexicans to hold back the migrants – not because such crossings are illegal and should be blocked and obstructed, but only until the Americans had finished processing the last batch into the country through Brownsville.
